I dont know what to do, anytime I give my brain a chance to think, I just think of all the negative things and just start crying. I have like 10 breakdowns everyday which is affecting my productivity. I cant focus on applying for jobs or interview prep because i just cant stop fucking crying
I can only provide answers to scenarios which I have prepared beforehand. I cant come up with scenarios on the spot. My brain just goes blank or I blabber a lot.
I cant keep waking up feeling like the stress from unemployment is gonna take over me completely and i am gonna have a horrible break down every single day. Everyday feels like i am going deeper into an endless abyss. I feel so guilty anytime i do anything unproductive. Distractions are great for some time, but the emotional exhaustion is always there. And people think that I am not trying hard enough but they have no idea about the shit that goes in my head the moment i open my eyes. It feels like I am never gonna have a job. I just need the pain to be gone.
I am trying my best. I am not naturally charismatic to make me a good personality fit. I don’t usually talk a lot, so in interviews, it is difficult to talk about myself. I am not very good at communicating/explaining myself. Sprinkle a bit of tism on top of all that. But, I have the skills to do the job. I AM TRYING MY BEST.
I am in the second category unfortunately and I cry every day feeling like a complete failure. Will it ever get better?
Like your parents tell you do this. And you don’t do it and u think of how they will react and then you prepare an appropriate response for when they question you. Any stories like that?
Depending on where I get a job, i might have to move to a new city and live on my own. I live with my parents currently. It’s common in my culture to live with parents until you get married. I have never lived by myself not even in college.
I really do want to move out but I am afraid of what might happen. When i get interviews for a role in a new city, first thing i search up is the city’s crime rate and if it’s high, which it usually is, as bigger cities have better job opportunities which tend to have more crime.
How do I get over this fear? Like I know that terrible things u see in movies and tv shows doesn’t happen all the time but it does happen.
I have applied for jobs in many different states that I qualify for making sure my resume has all the keywords, but I get auto rejected. Is this because recruiters prefer candidates who live locally and can start immediately? I really wanna move out of my parents’ house and live in a new city, but i hardly ever get interviews for roles in other states. I am even open to relocating without any assistance. How do people get jobs in a state that they don’t currently live in?
I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in psychology couple years ago. Then I was unemployed for a bit and then did a year long internship at a company in consumer insights. Internship ended recently but i still cant find a job in this field. I have been getting interviews but no offers. Is it me or is the field just very competitive? I am also trying to get better at interviewing. It doesn’t help that consumer insights is such a niche field that there aren’t too many job postings. What other jobs titles should i look into?
